Joining me in this episode is returning guest Anna Lois Davies. Anna is a Human Design Guide and business consultant for soul-led women. She helps them find clarity on who they are and what their magic is, then, using Human Design, helps them energetically align with it

Anna first joined me back in Episode 236, where she discussed having an Ego Authority.

This time Anna joins me for a collaborative conversation on a variety of topics, including:

• The nuances of Human Design and how it’s influenced how we curate our businesses in big and small ways

• Why coaches need coaches

• Why, as a fellow Human Design guide, her Aligned Business Blueprint has been an integral resource for my business

Many people come to Human Design looking for clues as to what direction to take in their life because they’re not happy doing what they’re doing right now.

I’ve found that most people have an idea of what they want to be doing but aren’t pursuing it because they feel trapped by “golden handcuffs.”

In this episode, we discuss:

• What are “golden handcuffs?”

• Why do you feel trapped

• How to free yourself from them without making a career and life change (if you’re not ready right now)

In this episode, I’m joined by Kaitlin Meek. Kaitlin is a Strategic Partnerships Manager at Culture Amp, responsible for building relationships with new business channels. I met Kaitlin last year when she hired me to deliver a Human Design workshop to her team.

You’ll hear Kaitlin and I discuss:

• How she introduced Culture Amp to Human Design and build interest and excitement for it

• How learning about her 2/4 Projector design transformed how she’s increased her productivity and success at work

• How she’s able to work with her Strategy (Waiting for the Invitation) and still be successful in a revenue-producing role

• And we reflect on the question, “Can you be self-actualized at work?”

Having a 3rd Profile Line in your Human Design means you become wise through life experiences.

You aren’t meant to stand on the sidelines; you’re meant to do. Because regardless of the outcome, you learn through the experience itself.

If you’ve forgotten this, this episode is a pep talk for you! And if you don’t have a 3rd Profile Line, it’s likely that you know someone who does, so give it a listen and understand how you can be of support in helping them to reframe failure.

In this episode, I’m joined by returning guest Nadia Gabrielle.

Nadia helps clients design business strategies and up-leveling subconscious capacity.

She uses her professional background to fill the much-needed gap between business, strategy, design, and technology with well-being and personal development.

She founded @projectorsinvited, the creator of Service Design School, various workshops and classes, and works one-on-one with clients.

Nadia shares:

• Why capacity is critical for success in business, work, and life

• The importance of strategy and business design

• How to bring it all together in a way that is supportive of our unique Human Design

Nadia also announces a new offering coming soon, and she shares a special time-sensitive offer to work with her exclusively to up-level your capacity.

In this episode, I’m joined by Saskia Seeling, a soul business consultant and yoga + meditation teacher for new and aspiring solopreneurs, helping them create a business where they can easily share their magic.

You’ll hear Saskia share:

• How she was introduced to Human Design and how she incorporates it into her business and client work

• How her Self-Projected Authority led her journey from a career in Finance to her soul business and her world travels from Aotearoa to Germany, where she’s now based.

• How she alchemizes yoga and meditation with business to provide a niched service

• How she works with the 3/5 Profile Lines

• How she uses breathwork and meditation techniques as a grounding business strategy

• How to write and work with affirmations

If you have a casual interest in Human Design, perhaps what you know you learned from Instagram. Maybe you’ve even looked up your Human Design chart to know your Type and Strategy, maybe even your Authority. You might even know what your Profile Lines are.

But if you want to get into the nuances of your design, look beyond those things. One place to start is with your active gates. What active gates are in your design? What hanging gates are in your design? What channels do you have?

In this episode, we’re talking about Gate 5, which is in the Sacral Center.

Gate 5 is about universal timing - having a solid sense of your rhythm of life that doesn’t have to fit into the timing and schedule of the rest of the world.

You’ll hear me share:

• How Gate 5 is woven into my daily life

• How it’s helped me understand other parts of my design

• What happens when we’re not in alignment with Gate 5

What builds trust?

A recent experience had me asking this question, which I put out to my Instagram community. The overwhelming response was consistency and transparency.

In this episode, I discuss what consistency and transparency look like and what’s at the root of how they show up in our lives.

I also reflect on how a lack of consistency and transparency ultimately led me to seek holistic and functional solutions and what role Human Design plays in building trust.

I used to get so caught up in the debate of goals vs. resolutions vs. intentions. These days I’ve come to realize that they were rooted in the “shoulds” - what I “thought” I should be doing, aka what society expects and everyone else was doing (which, if you really think about it, is just all of us enabling each other when it's very possible none of us wants to be doing “those things” at all).

In this episode, I throw out questions to ask yourself when setting goals in an exercise of self-observation with judgment to peel back the layers and see if it's something you truly want for yourself - and why.

I also share a few of my goals for the new year (which I think are very doable!).

Because what it comes down to is how well we know ourselves, how much we're willing to accept ourselves and understand how we're influenced. And Human Design illuminates these things for us in a very deep and aligned way.
